Naniwa is a Japanese restaurant at 133 Middlesex Street, close to Liverpool Street and Spitalfields. The casual, compact dining room serves lunch and dinner, with a menu broad enough for a quick rice bowl, a sushi-focused meal or a longer selection of shared plates.
Sashimi, nigiri and maki showcase salmon, tuna and other seafood in different cuts and combinations. California rolls, spider rolls, signature rolls and larger sushi sets provide both familiar choices and more elaborate arrangements for the table.
Donburi includes salmon, tuna, eel and katsu options served over rice, while bento combines several tastes in one structured meal. Tori karaage, gyoza, takoyaki, tempura, noodles and hot dishes such as teriyaki give diners who prefer cooked food plenty of choice.
Premium sake, sparkling fruit sake, Japanese beer, wine and tea support the food, with mochi ice cream available for dessert. Raw fish and a kitchen handling soya, sesame, shellfish and gluten require particular care, so guests with allergies should seek current advice before ordering.
